Acar accelerates from rest at 3.6 m/s 2 . how much time does it need to attain a speed of 5 m/s?

car starts from rest

final speed attained by the car is

acceleration of the car will be

now the time to reach this final speed will be

so it required 1.39 s to reach this final speed

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
